As designers we not only have the opportunity but, I feel a moral obligation to transform and enhance sense of place for communities when tackling space.

My focus as a designer is within interior architecture and how socially activated design can transform how communities live and work. Taking direct and meaningful action when tackling unused building stock through adaptive reuse has also formed a passion for experimental use of found materials.

My final project The Bottle Top Factory Project comprehensively explores how a disused and unloved factory which once supported Newlyn with employment can be brought back to life and once again support the Cornish community and families experiencing enforced homelessness due to the housing crisis.

Directly accessible from the courtyard is the Winter garden a child's play area and community hub to the side providing comunal cooking, greenhouse and events space.

Bottle Top Project - Winter Playground

The winter playground created from a building that was too decayed for use but has been transformed into a sheltered playground for child users. Playground equipment salvaged and repurposed from materials found on site via a pre-demoltion audit, yellow steels now support a tire swing and red piping has been made into a climbing frame.
